Default ID card layout
When we issue an ID card, we will automatically print the following details on the front of the card:
Club name
Club logo
Members name
Members photo
Membership number
Membership plan name*
Expiry date
Associated Membership bolt-ons
QR code (enabling bailiffs to scan anglers in)
*The card will display the Membership plan Name- so for Staff roles, If you need the card to to say "Bailiff". To ensure accurate membership assignment, remove any other active memberships from the profile before assigning the desired membership plan.
Please make sure you create a Membership Plan for your Bailiffs & allocate this to their profile before you issue their card. After assigning the membership plan, activate the card under the desired membership plan by navigating to Reporting > Members report > Membership ID cards.
You can also add up to 8 x custom lines of text on the front of the card as well.
You cannot customise the reverse of the card & the text size of the cards is a set size which can not be made larger.
Adding/editing custom text on your ID card template
To add/edit your text, go to Settings > Integrations > Membership Cards and click configure.
You can then update each custom field with your relevant text. For example, you can add contact details, gate codes, rules etc. However, it is recommended to avoid including sensitive information such as gate codes to enhance security in case the card is lost.
Custom fields 1 -4 are limited to a maximum of 40 characters.
Custom fields 5 - 8 are limited to 24 characters.
Best Practices for ID Card Management
Check your spelling & that text is displayed - The card will be printed exactly as you have typed details in these boxes.
Regularly review and update ID card layouts to ensure they meet current club needs.
Limit the amount of personal or sensitive information printed on the cards to enhance security.
Once you have added your custom text, click Save and then all cards will now be printed with your custom fields included. See example below.
IMPORTANT: We will print exactly what you type so please triple check for spelling and grammar before clicking save.
You can change the ID card template at any time and it will immediately take effect.
Making photos optional
As default, there must be a photo uploaded in the members profile in order for the card to be issued. If there is no photo, the card will not activate and will not be sent to print.
If preferred, you can make the photo an optional requirement. When it is optional, we will print a members photo if they have one and a default silhouette image if their own photo has not been uploaded (as shown in the above image).
To configure this, go to Settings > Integrations > Membership Card and click on the Advanced Settings tab. From here you can untick the box labelled 'Make profile photo mandatory'.
If you change your mind, re-check the box and photos will become mandatory again.
QR code
These are automatically added to the front of your cards, they can be scanned by any bailiff & will take the bailiff to the members profile.
To set the QR code up, go to Settings - Fishery Info & click on Fishery Access tab
Here you will need to change the Barcode/QR Code/Membership Card menu to Digital Membership Card
